Good day friends. For a while I could not publish stories because of the obligations I have, but I think that in the coming period I will be able to take enough time to dedicate to the platform. Here is an interesting story about Diego. This is why football is loved! Enjoy
Like every Argentine, Diego Milito is in love with a club from his homeland. In your Racing. After Inter, he could choose where to continue his career. From the English Premier League, through Paris Saint-Germain to rich Chinese and American clubs. There was no dilemma. He decided to end his career at Racing. What he promised to the fans when he left at the age of 24, he finally fulfilled. He returned and won the title with the popular Academy. That is how the love for the club is proven, everything else is empty words…
By World War II, Racing had won nine titles, and city rival Inependijente only four. The post-war years were also marked by racing, until the beginning of the sixties. From 1963 to 1978, Independiente won six South American titles, six Argentine titles and the first world title.
It was in the sixties of the last century that a detail happened that will change everything. Legend, superstition or curse. Understand as you wish, but since then nothing has been the same.
After the grand final of Racing and Celtic in 1967, Independiente fans sneaked into the Cylinder under the cover of night and killed and buried seven black cats on the field. Why seven is never figured out. Until that moment, the academy was far ahead of the Red Devils in terms of trophies. Then Racing goes to hell! He has been waiting for the trophy for an incredible 34 years! He tried everything. He called priests, shamans, prophets, resorted to black magic… In vain. There was no way out of the maze of horrors. Racing sank, Independiente grew. The world turned upside down with blue and white. Everyone in Aveland believed that the curse was real. And they felt it every day. It is amazing in what ways Racing lost matches and trophy races. In one of the matches for the title, they hit the goal frame 14 times!
And then Milito enters the scene!
Clausuri In 2001, Racing fought for his bare life and some fans went to church to pray before the crucial match for survival. A certain Pablo Delpierro was also in the group of fans. He bought a rosary and waited in front of the locker room the next day to give it to one of the players. The youngsters Diego Milito and another football player came out first. Delpierro asked Milito to take the rosary as a gift that would bring him happiness. With the reminder that the curse has been lifted and that the Lord is with Racing.
In the survival match, the coach left Milita on the bench to bring him into the game in the second half. Diego scored a goal that kept Racing in first league status. Already in the next Apertura Championship of the same year, Racing directed a miracle and became the champion of Argentina! The blue and white part of Aveljaneda was burning, the curse was finally lifted!
In the next championship, the champion of Argentina was Independiente. With Defense Commander Gabriel Milito. The Milito brothers are a special spice in the history of the Aveljaneda derby. They played against each other and fought as if they were the biggest enemies. It exploded when they got to the duels. The rivalry in Aveljaneda rose again to the heavens.
But since 2002, the title has bypassed the smallest football metropolis on the planet.
And then Diego Milito came back. The idol of Inter fans turned down many offers to return to Racing. While Milito was scouring Europe, that Delpierro fan got a job at Racing to maintain the field. A few days after Milito's return to Racing, they met at the exit of the stadium. Delpierro looked at him shyly, not thinking that the great Principe would remember the 2001 meeting.
"What is it? You're not going to ask for my rosary back, are you? ”Milito asked the startled Delpierre.
"Wait a minute," Diego continued and started digging in his sports bag, from which he took out a 13-year-old rosary.
The same blue one that Pablo Delpierro gave him. Milito told his fan that his rosary was his waist, that he did not separate from it and that he never forgot it… A few months later, Diego Milito scored two goals in the penultimate round against Rosario and scheduled a match for the title in Aveljaneda in the last round . River led for most of the championship, but the Academy overtook him and played for the title against Godoy at Cylinder. The tension in the air could be cut with a knife. Only a victory guaranteed Racing the title. And Godoy is one of those clubs that likes to make life miserable. Milito's assist to Senturion decided. Racing has become the champion of Argentina again!
